Also, I want to say, I see this weird dynamic play out in leftist spaces where if there’s any discussion on whether something is harmful to a marginalized community and if one person from that community says it is vs another who says it isn’t, the former always seems to assume they have some inherent moral authority and feels at will to speak down to the latter.
I’m not doing that. I’m not even counting on any particular ND person chiming in to say they feel personally harmed by the word. I’m ND myself and I don’t feel any connection to it. That isn’t really the point I’m making, nor the point people were making when it was made site policy.
I would even say ND people on here defending it are wrong to.
